Sacramento Kings vs Golden State Warriors – Game Predictions

The Sacramento Kings were one shot away from taking a comfortable lead against the Warriors but Harrison Barnes’ miss puts them in difficult situation. Kings’ top scorer De’Aaron Fox suffered a finger injury and if he is not able to play tonight, the Kings are in a deep trouble.

Prediction 1: Golden State Warriors to Cover the Spread (-2)

The Golden State Warriors were terrible on the road in the regular season but they are a team that plays the best when most needed. They barely won in the previous game but what is important, they tied the score and got the momentum in the series. The Warriors have huge experience behind them while the majority of the Kings’ players have no Playoff experience at all. With De’Aaron Fox having a broken finger, the Kings will not be able to set the tone in this game and the Warriors will know how to take advantage and take the lead in the series.

Prediction 2: Domantas Sabonis under 19.5 points

Domantas Sabonis has been a major force for the Kings in this series. The Lithuanian forward does everything on the court and he will need to have a good scoring night to give the Kings a standing chance. With Fox being questionable, Sabonis will step up and be aggressive in the pain. He averaged 19.1 points per game in the regular season and is at 16.3 in the series. Knowing how fierce competitor he is, Sabonis will have his best shooting night of the series and score at least 20 tonight.

Kings vs Warriors Preview – Can the Warriors win on the road?

The Sacramento Kings dominated the first two games of the series taking a 2-0 lead against the defending champions. Steph Curry seemed no bothered by that and the Warriors managed to get back with two wins at home. Now, the series is going back in Sac-Town where the fans are absolutely crazy. The Warriors won only 11 of 41 road games this season and they will need to play on top of their game to get the lead in this series.
